★★★★Almost perfect🇺🇸 US

I would love to clown down the songs bpm as I scratch the vinyl and I would love to see dj controller support with the decks having full midi support for spinning other wise this apps is dope

★★★★★The only Auv3 option for vinyl scratches🇺🇸 US

Cem did wonderful work in making an app like this. Before there wasn’t really anyway to get those record type scratches with Auv3. The only other options were some serious workarounds. Cem did justice with Scratchbud

★★★★By Lil Woodryc aka Lxna🇺🇸 US

I’ve been looking for something like that for a while all these other DJ abs I use for my mixing just don’t do it in a traditional sense as if they were plug-in for effects and I kind of thought that ScratchBud vinyl would’ve been something similar to that, but when I downloaded this, I was surprised good plug-in

★★★★★Amazing!!!🇺🇸 US

I’ve only started to play with this (been really busy for a while but I actually bought this on release since I’ve been looking for a plugin to do this for ages (seriously)) and I’m already feeling blessed (fyi, I bought a CHOMPI just to do precisely what this plugin does and since the CHOMPI team is kinda 💀 they never implemented the CC command I needed to actually fulfill my project so…); this plugin is fantastic Cem, please consider (if possible but I can’t see why it wouldn’t be) extending the buffer size (which, correct me if I’m wrong but I believe is capped at 3 seconds from what I recall reading a while back); a 16 seconds buffer (or even longer) would be fantastic (for more complex scratching). PS: to the dude whom was asking about using a single fader for two instances…: I’m sure you can just “invert” the mapping on one of these faders (so, one instance inverted and the other one not) and then control both faders with a single one (which hopefully, can even be one of the faders of one of the instances - If moving such fader sends a midi CC I don’t see why you couldn’t just do that - and if it doesn’t… Cem, that would be very useful precisely to “control multiple faders” from a single instance (and therefore allow for proper cross-fading)).

★★★★★Love this app🇺🇸 US

Really great job, this is only emulating a real turntable so working with full records samples is tough but when I have a sample 8 or 16 bars I can beat juggle fine in AUM, It’s a bit of a challenge beat juggling because the crossfader only applies to one instance and not two at the same like a normal turntable would with a mixer but it’s still doable which is preety cool I’ve been having lots of fun so far. Do you have any idea what it would take to be able to use one cross fader for two instances of ScratchBud in AUM instead of two crossfaders for each for getting more of the classic turntable feel? Would that be possible or too hard?
